North American F-86E Sabre Aviation Art Print by Darryl Legg
Sharpening the Sabre - The F-86E
The North American F-86E Sabre was a refined version of the pioneering F-86A, introducing an all-moving “flying” tailplane that greatly enhanced control at high speeds. Entering service in 1951, the F-86E became a key fighter for the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War, particularly with the 51st Fighter-Interceptor Wing. Powered by the General Electric J47 engine, it could reach speeds of around 680 mph and was highly manoeuvrable in dogfights, securing air superiority over the Korean Peninsula. Its combination of advanced aerodynamics, reliable performance, and combat success makes the F-86 an enduring icon of early jet-age aviation.
In the Summer of 1952 at the height of the air war over Korea, Cliff Jolley flying his 'Jolley Roger' F-86 Sabre prepares to engage a MiG-15bis at high altitude.
